Notice how there are 5 seconds lacking any feedback between clicking the [Launch] button and the application-window being visible.

Note:I do understand that it is due to launching an external process, but please show some feedback, within 100ms! A splash would do just fine.

Actually, the smaller box popped in behind the Java Store window. And REALLY now....this is one thing that all Windows users are familiar with. Clicking a link and not having any visual indication that something is working.

EDIT: IT WAS A JOKE FOLKS! Even if it was a poorly constructed one Of course this will be addressed, the store is still in Beta.

Eh? If I click a link outside of a browser (say, from an email client) then the windows cursor will change to indicate progress. If I click a link within a browser then the there'll be a progress bar or icon within the browser itself.

Personally I'd expect the 'launch' button to change state, probably disabled with some kind of 'launching...' animation on it. At the moment it looks like it's broken and you'd probably get users clicking it multiple times.

Markus...come on I was just poking fun at Windows. Of course it's not the general attitude here. The store is still in Beta and they are working out the kinks. I should have put a wink in there to show I was kidding

Actually, when you are installing from the store there actually is an animation to show it is working. It is an interface bit the team is working on. Again, bad joke on my part!

oops! I don't have a lot of english canadian culture. I'm from Quebec (which is part of Canada for others reading this) and the first language is french, therefore the english culture is very different from the french one, or Quebec one I should say because even France and Quebec has a fundamental different culture.

Sun contacted me about SingSong and I tried putting an app in the store. They even provided people I could contact with problems. It took many iterations and bug reports to finally get it going. The submission site is terrible. You should be able to just point it at a working JNLP and be done.
